Reuters is looking for an exceptional editor to lead its Washington bureau and drive coverage of the world’s biggest stories over the next few years. There could hardly be a more exciting time to take the helm of this bureau, which sits at the heart of Reuters global news-gathering network.
Having wound up combat missions in Iraq and Afghanistan, the United States is engaged in a new war with Islamic State. Elsewhere, its allies are threatened by an assertive China and an aggressive Russia.
The Federal Reserve is considering raising interest rates in the middle of a global economic slowdown. The debate is shifting on Wall Street regulation and shale revolution is changing economic and geopolitical realities. And America will elect a new president in two years amidst a national debate on everything from race to income inequality.
To tell these and other stories, the Washington Bureau Chief will need extraordinary skills as a journalist, from breaking news to long-term investigations, and as an organizer. Deep knowledge of the United States and experience covering big global stories is a must. The ability to open doors in Washington and a background in a real-time news environment would be an advantage. Above all, the bureau chief needs to be an inspiring leader, able to bring out the best in his or her people.
